The adaptive evolution of herbivory in freshwater systems
Abstract Herbivory is thought to be nutritionally inefficient relative to carnivory and omnivory, but herbivory evolved from carnivory in many terrestrial and aquatic lineages, suggesting that there are advantages of eating plants. Herbivory has been well‐studied in both terrestrial and aquatic syst...
